Lafarge Prestia solves many technical problems,           
such as...

• surface scratches: plasters with impurities (iron oxides, hard particles) makes gritty materials and scratches.
• lumps too fine: plasters will create lumps during paste preparation.
• inconsistency: inconsistency of plaster setting time will disturb the organization of the applicators on sites and create problems.
• difficult mixing: plaster badly protected from moisture will have set plasters lumps that will bring difficult mixing conditions.
• too fast drying: plaster that dries too fast will affect the working conditions (finishing).
• cracks: plaster that expands or shrinks too much will make cracks on surface, as well as a lack of strength.

Those problems put the professional finishing of the construction sites at risk and increase the building materials cost a lot (bigger products waste, bigger plaster consumption because of shorter setting time, etc…). That' s where Lafarge Prestia wants to help!
